He's crazy.. why his mom??

Thats the same thing I was wondering.

Ok that is disturbing

I like Oasis but the Beatles were ground breaking and were considered ground breaking in their day. When considering sgt pepper was recorded on four tracks and there was nothing like it before it come out. People I think don't realize that before alot of the music in that time there was no precedent. So it was really original.
All those early Beatles are recorded two track, so all those amazing vocals were basically recorded live while playing.

is this for real?I'm really surprised!

Who knows but the fact that hes using it to sell the book he just wrote doesn't inspire confidence that its true.

that is fucked up but i feel bad for his family now

Sure you have no argument other than "there not big in us they must suck" well look at who is big in the us and tell me 99% of them dont fucking suck idiot.

Anyway song for song oasis beat beatles, song for song the arctic monkeys beat beatles even.

Yeah, you've got a real scene going on over there. The townie invasion. :1orglaugh

the beatles were a generic boyband until they discovered the joys of LSD :P

fuck yeah

It is no surprise considering what a scumbag he was. Very talented songwriter though.

Actually they went toe to toe with the Beach Boys with both trying to upstage the other and pushing the boundaries of pop further and further.
I hesitate to even mention Oasis... It can only be a trolling attempt because it's like saying Creed is better than Pearl Jam. (Not that Pearl Jam were in any way original etc, just that Creed, like Oasis is a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy.)
Don't worry people in the UK know Oasis is a half assed tribute band as well.. It's only a few die hard 90's Oasis fans with monobrows tattooed onto their tasteless faces that think otherwise. You can't help the clueless.

I'll admit that I break out the guitar and play Wonderwall every once and awhile, but yeah...no...they're not as good as the Beatles

Now...The Ramones on the other hand :winkwink:

ahahahaha comparing Oasis to the Beatles - like comparing Rick Astley to Frank Sinatra

i've just been on YouTube going through the Beatles from their start until their end - gives you goose pimples looking at the footage- I was born into Beatlemania, my older sisters had every 45 single, every album, and every piece of Beatle crap imaginable - the Beatles phenomena will NEVER EVER be repeated, it can't be in this day and age, the time and place was a once in forever occurrence. Go look at the footage of their first trip to America - it was pure insanity - you are talking about the Baby Boom generation, the largest bubble of children and teens ever born and every one of them a Beatle maniac, there weren't 50 genres of popular/rock music, there wasn't even FM radio.

i get sick of the Beatles, I'm sure some people in younger generations just out of hand write them off because some people just don't like an older generation telling them that something was the best that came long before them.

As far as the music itself goes, everybody has their own opinion and if somebody 22 years old today prefers Oasis to the Beatles - no surprise there.

As song writers go Lennon and McCartney became freaks of nature - you simply don't write that many songs that will stand the test of time in the relatively short period of time they were together.

ok back to YouTube - I'm watching A Hard Day's Night movie - even the movies they did set trends - look at A Hard Day's Night and Help and Yellow Submarine - those were the very first music videos and you still see their influence in videos made today - almost 20 years before video killed the radio star and MTV was born. No band, no musical artist will ever have the influence on the world that the Beatles did. Can't.

They will be a footnote at best.

And you've contributed what to the world? Porn traffic from Russia? :1orglaugh

That's... Interesting.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=7XTULcETGqk > any beatles song

Absolutely, to Oasis fans. To Elvis' period fans, do you think Beatles songs stand out today? No. In fact most of these fans dislike the Beatles.

I cant believe anyone thinks beatles songs have stood the test of time, the only people who think they are good now are old people who where alive during the 60's, they havent stood the test of time its you who hasnt moved forward with time.

I just look at a few beatles songs and i cant imagine anybody enjoying this shit that isnt old, decrepit and living in the past.

Oasis sucks!

those guys need to quit riding Beatle's coattails. Gimme a break. :1orglaugh

this does put a new spin on his music though...

Mother, you had me but I never had you,
I wanted you but you didn't want me,
So I got to tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Farther, you left me but I never left you,
I needed you but you didn't need me,
So I got to tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Children, don't do what I have done,
I couldn't walk and I tried to run,
So I got to tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Mama don't go,
Daddy come home.

ewww :1orglaugh

ps... I love youtube comments:

Thats nasty

Ok, coming back to the root of the problem here (since we're all going in different directions):

Oasis is just copying the Beatles (let alone whether you like them or not). As I said before, they have a good sense of melody, but most of their hit songs are pure theft from Beatles song (yeah, also not the "She Loves You" era..a little later..).

One important thing: I'm not from that era at all...just turned 30. I'm not even the most die hard Beatles fan but I'm a musician and see clear patterns. It's not like Oasis invented new chords structure. It's good basic catchy melodies. a good voice ( but not the greatest voice of r'n'r) but I think they are good in doing what they do: copy the inventors of the brit rock sound (if there's such a thing).

Good point :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

At the peak of their success, the Monkees outsold the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combined, selling over 35 million records, and having four consecutive Number 1 albums in the year 1967 alone.

Amazing how so many of you believe everything you read. So some writer decides to make outlandish accusations with no proof to back it up and you automatically believe it? The author is obviously after money. Smear sells.

You do realize that Noel Gallagher has said The Beatles is the best band ever? Also, umm, you can hear the beatles influence in some of their songs. Just listen to the beginning of Don't Look Back In Anger and tell me what it sounds like exactly.

He also said they were bigger than the beatles.

The imitated the beatles style...he's a legend in his own mind, the band conquered the UK, that's great, but worldwide they haven't made the impact that The Beatles have.

Oasis has a retro sound, there's nothing new there, they're not changing anything, they're just redoing what was done. They're a good band, but they'll be hard pressed to have real staying power beyond their diehard fans.

Current bands (say in the last decade or so)...I'd have to say Radiohead has the best unique sound/songs, etc, that'll give it real staying power.

I have never seen so many fucking idiots in one thread. The beatles are Oasis idols, the beatles are their biggest influence, which is ovbious.

But to say that Oasis have not changed music is absolutley fucking rediculous.

They are the biggest, best and most inspirnig band of this generation. Only mabye twice a generation do bands come around that can change your life, there are good bands, fucking excellent bands.

Noel Gallagher is one of the most talented artists the world has seen.

Americans want people stabbing themselves in the head on stage, they get a bright bunch like us, with deodrant on and they don't understand - Liam Gallagher.

That about sums it all up.

Pure fucking magic.

The people that say Oasis suck are either Radiohead fans or Americans. Simple as that :1orglaugh

Here's my viewpoint at 32 years on this rock:
Elvis sucked.
Beatles sucked.
And Oasis couldn't hold a straw to felch either of them.

I also think Shakespear sucked, sans a few pieces I liked, Picaso painted shit, sans a few pieces I liked, etc. It's funny watching people go on and on about how great this or that is/was, when it all boils down to one's own taste. Unless someone's an idiot and can't say: "No, I don't like that", rather they just follow popular opinion. To each their own, I guess. (I would take an original Picaso though, if anyone wanted to give me one - even a shitty one).

/sorry
/rant

You are right it is down to taste but to say they didn't change music is denial really, they along with a few others at the time gave birth to a new genre.

As usual GFY is full of trolling idiots with bad taste in music.

Oasis are the worst band of the post-smiths britpop era hands down.

Pulp > Radiohead > Suede > Oasis

The Beatles > The Stone Roses > The Smiths > Oasis > Radiohead > Pulp
